Dr. Conrad Murray plead "not guilty" to charges of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson in a courtroom today.

He plead "not guilty" to "involuntary manslaughter." The medical board filed a motion to have Murray's medical license revoked telling Murray, "I do not want you sedating people," said the judge, reports TMZ.

The D.A. wanted his bail set at $300,000, which is 12 times the amount for cases like this, but Murray's attorney fought the charges. They agreed to $75,000 bail.

Michael Jackson's family reacted with outrage. "This charge is a slap on the wrist," said Brian Oxman, longtime lawyer for Jackson's father Joseph. "There's great disappointment here. What he did was reckless. It was a disregard for human life."
